[Arabmariner]

Where's the calendar I ask??

Now I have to admit these are far too nice to be stuck in a kitchen!!

BUT..............they are also far too nice to be kicking lumps out of each other on a football pitch!!

oooo i like this, women having a dig at the men back, well in.

Now for my return serve.
The higher average IQ in the stadium will be useless as there will be zero football knowledge.
ok your go.

My point about the IQ... Q.E.D.

Understand Keensy?... I thought not.

Matildas upset Brazil

June 19, 2008 AUSTRALIA'S women's football team has scored a memorable 1-0 win against 2007 World Cup runners-up Brazil in Korea, the match decided by an injury-time strike from Kyah Simon.

The 16-year-old scored the dramatic goal in the dying seconds of the 2008 Peace Cup match, earning a small level of solace after the Brazilians ended the Matildas' run at the quarter-final stage of last year's World Cup.

Firstly, good on you for posting this thread Midfielder.

But how does a Matilda's thread get so slobbered and butchered by such a bunch of pathetic sexist losers?? Honestly, on such a fantastic football forum in this day and age, what a farking embarrassment!!! To our female members, I'm ashamed you even have to raed this shit, but luckily I'm sure you know that its just the spawn of a minority group of very limited minds, and as Dibo stated, thankfully the world is moving on. Oh and exciting as it is to discuss on a Matilda's thread that some of you play 1st grade  : It's a pity your brains are still in preschool and your ideologies are in the middle ages. Me "boys" I love women... and I love football... so loving women's football is beyond easy. But hey I also like to look for the good in things, but from what some of you guys offer up, all i see are a pack of belligerent wankers, who then hilariously have the gaul to hide behind the ol "Oim just spressing moi opinion moite! "don't opress me" It'd be f**king hilarious if it wasn't so f**king tragic! Seriously...if on a topic about the women that are kicking ass representing our country, you've got nothing better to offer than a "awww f**kin chicks are shit ey! Get back in the kitchen...blah blah...awww I'd farkin go errrr..."
THEN f**k OFFFFFFFFFF ALREADY!!!!!!!!!   

Some of you pin heads are really starting to clog up this place with all the juvenile shit you speak. I really used to enjoy the intelligent discussions on here, but lately, talk about dumbing down FFS  :

[FFC Mariner]

And we pick on poor Belinda Neal too.

Arent we naughty.

But as a pinhead, what do I know??

Tosser

 

[soccersensei]

HA! lol, Apples with apples ffs. Neal cooked her own goose. But if say your opinion was that Neal should be hung out to dry because she was a woman...? THEN yeah I would say your a PIN HEAD... But fundly enough you didn't actually make any belligerent sexist remarks that I saw Greenpole? Just disinterested disdain, which is simply what it is. But that said I don't give a shite if you think I'm being a righteous wanker, if you think I'm a "tosser" for saying that I think wading through a topic on the Matilda's which is filled with "get back in the kitchen" style comments is a farking embarrassment... THEN I'D RATHER BE A FARKING TOSSER IN ANY CASE!

 

[FFC Mariner]

and who said that feminista's dont have a sense of humour..............

You've noticed! 

I thought it was just the off-season, but I am not so sure anymore!

I was discussing this exact point with a fellow forum contributor the other day. He too suggested that the off-season was to blame.

 

[soccersensei]

Yeah, thanks Kev, it has been a little maddening hasn't it.
Re off season - hope that's the case, then there's even more reason to look forward to the season starting I guess ;D
(Like we needed it )

 

[midfielder]

Maybe Matty S & Boogs will be here as well.

F**king unbelievable. No Australian club would ever stop their players from representing Australia at the Olympics (overage or not).

Olympic disappointment for Wellington Phoenix duo
tribalfooball.com - June 24, 2008

Shane Smeltz and Tony Lochhead have both expressed disappointment at the Wellington Phoenix' decision not to release them for the Olympics.
The pair will not be going to the games as the Oly-Whites' over-23 players, as the Olympics clash with the start of the A-league football season.

Smeltz accepts it was a difficult choice for the Phoenix to make. He says any athlete would want to go to one of the world's biggest sporting events but understands why they cannot play.

I agree could come back to bite them like the old chinese saying goes "Happy Wife means Happy Life", well unhappy players ........ mean unhappy camp ........... look at what Mariners did and are doing to give Danny a chance to go.

Boy is that club over country for you...
